Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

!

 Before starting the appliance, follow the installation 

instructions

 (see Installation).

!

 

Before connecting the appliance, clean the 

compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water 
and bicarbonate.

1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the 

internal light illuminates.

2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an 

average value. After a few hours you will be able to put 
food in the refrigerator.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment 
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of 
the thermostat knob.

1

 = warmest        

5

 = coldest

We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located 
inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment 
for increased space and improved aesthetics. During 
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or 
water droplets depending on whether the compressor 
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is 
functioning normally.
 If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been 
set on high values with large quantities of food and with 
a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate 
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and 
excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by 
shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will 
occur automatically). 
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: 
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. 
The food should be stored as follows:

*

 Available only on certain models.

•  Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the 

compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and 
tips).

•  Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than 

raw foods.

•  Do not store liquids in open containers. They will 

increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause 
condensation to form.

SHELVES

: with or without grill. 

Due to the special guides the 
shelves are removable and 
the height is adjustable (see 
diagram), allowing easy storage 
of large containers and food. 
Height can be adjusted without 
complete removal of the shelf.

MULTI-USE

*

 

bin: to store food (such as cold meats) for 

a long time and also prevent odours from lingering in the 
refrigerator. 

BOTTLE RACK/ CAN RACK

*

 

flap door: to store a 

bottle or several cans horizontally (see diagram). When 
not in use, close the flap door to increase the space in 
the refrigerator compartment.

WINE AREA

*

: to store up 

to three bottles of wine (see 
diagram). The air circulates freely 
between the bottles guaranteeing 
rapid cooling. When not in use, 
close it to increase the space on 
the shelf.
